London | UK

I've lost count of how many times I've been to London and I absolutely love being a tourist while I'm there. However, something I've never done is an open-top bus tour.

Seeing this @goldentoursuk bus on my last trip to the capital made me think that I should do this with Erin when we go on our Mummy/ daughter night away in August.

Have you done an open-top bus tour before?

Greenwich | London

I have one very excited girl ready to go on holiday at the weekend. We had to cancel our last holiday thanks to chickenpox (which wasn't in the end) so Erin's been desperate for this one to go ahead.

Today I'll be busy packing and getting everything ready to go to Butlins. Have you been before? Is there anything I absolutely need to pack?

Walt Disney World | Florida

This week, Disney decided that Genie+ will no longer be available to pre-purchase. This means that from 7th June you will need to buy Genie+ on a daily basis.

We had Genie+ added to our tickets, which we paid a deposit on. Sadly, we're not able to pay the full balance by the deadline so our Genie+ part will be taken away.

Being able to pay for this in advance meant it wasn't something I'd have to think about during our trip. Now, I'm not sure I want to faff around buying it every day we're at a Disney park.

I think we're going to try a couple of days in the parks first and see if we think we need it or not then go from there.

Have you had Genie+ at Walt Disney World? If you're planning a trip do you think you'll use it?

Tallinn | Estonia

Somewhere I would really love to go back to is Tallinn, Estonia.

I only really ended up going by accident, when a flight to Helsinki was no longer possible. You can get a ferry between the two places really easily and it meant getting to go to an extra place at the time.

There's so much that I didn't get to see in Tallinn and also, some places I'd love to go back to. The NUKU puppet theatre & museum was an absolute highlight and somewhere really different to visit.

Have you been to Tallinn before?

Being without a car means that when we go to the beach we either have to pack light or be weighed down!

I recently bought this waterproof picnic mat for about £11 and it’s perfect for us. All 3 of us can sit comfortably on it, still with extra space and when we’re ready to go, it fits into a tiny bag.

I love that the small bag fit in my handbag, making it something I can keep with me at all times, just in case we need somewhere dry to sit.

You can buy the mat here: https://amzn.to/3wnO3e9 (Affiliate link)

The National Gallery | London

The National Gallery | London

I can't believe I only visited the National Gallery in London for the first time this year and I was blown away. Although I went on my own, it's somewhere I would definitely take Erin.

As a traditional art gallery, it's not hands on like other museums in London so children might not be as interested as you. If you're thinking about visiting with children though here are some ideas to busy:

➡ Practice drawing - take some paper and pencils with you and practice drawing with the kids. Pick and interesting picture, maybe Van Gough's Sunflowers, and see if you can copy the picture.

➡ Visit the gift shop - after looking around, take the kids to the gift shop to pick something out to take home with them.

➡ Have a snack in the cafe - You'll no doubt need a break at some point so a stop at the cafe is a great idea!

➡ Create a treasure trail - before your visit put together a treasure trail for the children and see how many things they can find hidden in the pictures.

➡ Let them lead - there's nothing worse than being dragged around to look at things you're not interested in. By letting the children lead the way they'll be able to stop at any painting they like the look of.

The Assembly House | Norwich

Looking back through some photos, I’ve realised that I don’t have a plan for mine and John’s wedding anniversary this year. It’s not until the end of September so there’s still time to plan something.

This photo was taken at @assembly_house in Norwich, where we’ve been for past anniversaries and I’d love to go back. Room 1 was pretty special and we always enjoy staying there.

Tottenham Court Road | London

When did London get so expensive?

I remember being able to book hotels for less than £60 a night and a weekend there not costing crazy money. Now, we’re looking at £200+ for 2 nights in a Travelodge if we want to go over a weekend.

Erin loves London but the hotels are pricing us out of going as much as we normally would at the minute.

Do you have any tips for doing London on a budget with kids?

Cromer | Norfolk

If you're looking for a coastal break this year, or even a day at the beach if you're local, then Cromer is a great choice.

At the far end of the beach you'll find an area where there's always sand, no matter what the tide is doing. Other areas have rock pools at certain times of day which can be super fun to explore.

Families will be relieved to know that there are plenty of toilets dotted around so you never need to go far if the kids are desperate.

Where's your favourite beach for a family day out?
